Wako's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You are standing in the middle of the main street of a sizable downtown area.

The early morning sun hangs low in the east. The air is salty and fresh – and oh man is your nose sharp! You can smell the people who came in here with you from yards away! Other stuff smells that strong, too! There is a spring breeze in the air. How do you know it’s spring? You just do. It’s the vibe here. Tropical trees and flowers grow in window boxes and small gardens. There are fairly standard shops (a movie theater! A book store! Small clothing boutiques! And so on), with trucks, cars, and bicycles parked at the curbs. There are no people or animals in sight, but there’s birdsong hanging in the air. It seems to be coming in every direction.

Oh. And you’re dressed like stripper clowns.

ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[dramatispersonae]

[ You are in a sphere. The sphere is walled in glass screens, presenting a 360-degree view of a dome-shaped world. To the horizon are cotton-candy clouds, swirling softly. Above is a gradient rainbow sky dotted with faint stars. There is a large gold clockwork contraption at the very center of the top of the dome; there are circular clockwork gears filled with blue light at the heart of it, and spinning gold diamond shapes like chains criss-cross the multi-colored sky.

It’s some pretty amazing scenery porn.

And then there are robots.

They’re spread out across the dome – one for every other person in the heart. If you look closely, you’ll see that there’s a glowing sphere where the heart would be in each of these giant humanoids. Look even closer, and you’ll see human shaped forms in each of those spheres.
Yeah. It’s pretty likely that you’re in a giant robot, too! ]

momentarily stunned by scenery. and then looking around, looking into the spheres to see who got which robot. ]

[springtime]

A floating pink bubble materializes at about the same height as your bubble-cockpits, dead in the center of the dome. Wako is inside it, dressed in a pink sweatshirt over a striped top and miniskirt. She recoils visibly at the site of all those robots. ]

No! Not all at once--!

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[pitching]

Oh, it's that cute girl! Wako, was it?

[holding up a robot hand]

Hey, we're not going to fight you. Still getting the hang of walking in these things.

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[preteinder]

Oh? What's wrong with us hanging about? It was you who put us here, wasn't it?

Re: ZERO TIME (THIRD STAGE)

[iwantyour]

HEY LISTEN UP! We're gonna fight until there's only one robot usable! Get on it!
